2025 NFC West right tackle rankings: Cardinals' Jonah Williams at the top
We are in the final stretch of the NFL offseason as the Arizona Cardinals open training camp on July 22. Leading up to then, as we have for several offseasons, we go through the players and position groups in the NFC West and rank them.
Next up, we look at the starting right tackles for the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks and rank them.
1. Jonah Williams, Arizona Cardinals
He only played six games for the Cardinals last season, but when healthy, he is far and away the best right tackle in the division. He not only is steady, he is capable of giving a team high-end play.
2. Rob Havenstein, LA Rams
Havenstein enters his 11th NFL season and has been steady. He has 141 career starts. He is, though, on the back end of his career now.
3. Colton McKivitz, San Francisco 49ers
He enters his third season as the Niners' starting right tackle. He was a low-cost option after Mike McGlinchey left and hasn't been bad, but the Niners are making plans to replace him. He enters the final season of his contract and, if he plays well, could nail down big money.
4. Abe Lucas, Seattle Seahawks
Lucas is a promising player. However, a nagging knee injury has limited him to 13 games in the last two seasons.

Kyle Shanahan: Jake Moody's still competing with whoever's out there
The 49ers released veteran kicker Greg Joseph on Monday, but head coach Kyle Shanahan stopped short of saying that means Jake Moody will definitely be handling the kicking duties in the season opener. Shanahan said that "roster numbers" led to the decision to cut Joseph because the 49ers need healthy bodies at other spots at this point in training camp. Shanahan said he would have liked to see the competition play out longer under different circumstances, but said he thinks Moody knows that he is still competing against the larger pool of available kickers. "Whether you have one kicker in the building or two, which you rarely have two, kickers always know they're competing with whoever's out there," Shanahan said, via "I don't see it much different." Moody was a 2023 third-round pick and he's gone 45-of-59 on field goals through his first two seasons.

Sean Payton hosted a familiar face at Broncos training camp
The Denver Broncos had one of Sean Payton's former players at practice on Monday, although most NFL fans are more familiar with the guest for his coaching career than his quarterback days. Jason Garrett, who was a backup quarterback with the New York Giants when Payton served as their offensive coordinator in the early 2000s, was at the Broncos' facility on Monday for the team's training camp practice. 'I coached him, and he was our backup quarterback," Payton said after practice. "He's always been a close friend. He's made a couple of trips. I think he's doing some type of podcast special on leadership, and so he's here for the day. I'll spend some time with him. He's really bright, and he's been a close friend. We're going to go back to 2000, which is when we signed him. It's good to see him.' Garrett also visited Broncos training camp last summer. Garrett served as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 2011-2019, and he most recently served as the Giants' offensive coordinator from 2020-2021 before transitioning to broadcasting with NBC Sports.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders Remained Focused During Father's Cancer Battle
National Football League Browns' Shedeur Sanders Remained Focused During Father's Cancer Battle Published Aug. 4, 2025 6:17 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Shedeur Sanders didn't have time to be sad while his father battled bladder cancer during the spring. Instead, Deion Sanders' message was clear and direct as his son prepared for his first NFL training camp after being drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns: stay focused mentally. "Dad, he's one person that — he'll handle his, we handle what we've got to do," Shedeur said Monday. "It was like, 'Y'all need to focus on what y'all could focus on. Y'all can't sit here and feel sorry for me.' … At the end of the day, you're all able to see and you're all able to understand everything on and off the field that I go through. "So then you've got to be some type of human at some point in the way I'm doing everything and how I'm handling everything that's thrown at me. You've got no choice but to applaud that." Monday marked Shedeur's first time talking to reporters since his father, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado's head coach, announced on July 28 that doctors had removed his bladder to ward off an aggressive form of cancer. Shedeur was back on the field after missing Saturday's practice because of arm soreness. ADVERTISEMENT To say Shedeur has had an eventful first eight-plus months of 2025 would be an understatement. There was the hype about him being a possible first-round pick leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, followed by a well-publicized drop to the fifth round, where he was taken 144th overall by the Browns. The Browns are bringing along Shedeur slowly, with veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett competing for the starting job. Third-round pick Dillon Gabriel has also received some first-team snaps. So far, Shedeur hasn't taken any snaps with the first-team offense. He has faced the first-team defense a couple of times while taking snaps with the second- and third-team offenses. "The defense does a great job of mixing players in, so (line)backers, you've got rookies out there," he said. "Sometimes DBs, you've got different guys out there. Truthfully, I don't care what O-line I go out there with. It could be ones, twos, threes, whatever the situation is. And I know Friday when the game is, if I'm with twos, if I'm with threes — it don't matter to me. "I'm just ready to get down and get to doing what I could." While Deion Sanders visited Shilo Sanders during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' training camp on July 23, the focus soon shifted to when Coach Prime would appear in Cleveland. Shedeur, however, asked his father to stay away because of the lack of snaps and the attention that would follow. "I don't want him to come and see me get a couple of reps, and then he's cheering like a good dad," Shedeur said. "Like, 'Nah, you can't be proud of me right now, I got to get to where I'm going,' I know there's a lot I've got to do to get there. I just want everything that I'm doing to be focused on this time, and I don't want distractions. "We know how everybody would take it, as taking away from the team, with my own dad showing up. It's a gift and a curse at the same time." Coach Kevin Stefanski and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees have not outlined how snaps will be divided for Wednesday's joint practice and Friday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Part of this uncertainty comes from Pickett and Gabriel both dealing with hamstring injuries. Both did individual drills on Monday. The recent trend throughout the league is for veteran players to receive most of the snaps in joint workouts, with rookies then playing in the preseason games. For Sanders and Gabriel, the games would be the best indicators to date of how they can adapt to things on the fly. "You're (quarterback is) obviously not wearing a red jersey, so you're free game in those situations, whereas you're not in practice or a joint practice with another team," Stefanski said. "So I think those are all things that we weigh as coaches trying to figure out what our team needs for a given season, for a given week." Shedeur did have one of the best throws on Monday with a 28-yard completion to Luke Floriea on fourth-and-17 during a two-minute drill. Reporting by The Associated Press.
